For the first two issues...try double-clicking on the field that won't let you enter a $$ amount. There is likely a Supporting Details (SD) Worksheet attached to that field, that you used last year.
For #3, you really need to wait until you are completely done with entering every scrap of information.....adn completely sure you have nothing else to do. Once that is done, you visit the "Other Tax Situations" tab in the Federal section. Scroll down the page and there is a menu selection to "Apply refund to next year".
(I don't use it because if the IRS changes your refund, for any reason...you have to be sure to correct it on next year's forms. I just pay quarterly estimated taxes separately.....but that's just me)
